A whirlwind of news surrounds both future Real Madrid And the Brazilian national team. Just a few hours ago Carlo Ancelotti had a practically completed agreement to handle the Conmebol squad.

A European coach and familiar faces from the South American football scene gain traction.
Ancelotti was reportedly in London and met board members who represented Brazil to complete a deal that seemed to be an open secret. However, Real Madrid does not currently provide green light for the Italian to join the CBF for the June window, before the FIFA Club World Cup. Brazilian news points now indicate that only a complete U-turn can save the situation. If it does not, three names lead the list of potential replacements to guide Verdeamarelha.
Alternative candidates show up
Jorge Jesus, Abel Ferreira and Filipe Luis. These are the three names that get the most speed after the latest questions about Carlo Ancelotti. All three are currently employed and have existing contracts, which would need to be resolved with a financial solution from CBF. Jesus, who currently handles al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, is a leading candidate given his knowledge of Brazilian football, after winning Copa Libertadores 2019 with Flamengo.
Brazil’s dissatisfaction and Real Madrid’s attitude
There is significant frustration in Brazil regarding Ancelotti’s situation. His appointment was virtually confirmed earlier Real Madrid is reportedly reverse, dissatisfied with not having a leading role in the negotiations. Reports indicate that Ancelotti can even handle Real Madrid at the Club World Cup while waiting for a new coach in the following season.
These are the first names as areas as potential replacements for Ancelotti in Brasil’s coaching search. Other prominent figures, such as Jürgen Kloppwas mentioned in recent weeks before the situation escalated in Madrid. Remember that the nation with most World Cup titles will meet Ecuador on June 4 in Guayaquil, followed by a match against Paraguay five days later, before the qualification resumes in September.
Leverkusen Eyes Replacements

The situation around the Brazilian national team is far from simple. Brazil had planned to announce Ancelotti’s first squad list on May 26. At present, it is not only uncertain who will train against Ecuador and Paraguay, but also the circumstances of Ancelotti’s departure from Real Madrid, where they are fighting for the league title against Barcelona over the next four weeks, is unclear.
